THE CHINESE MONACO.
Where John Chinaman Goes to Play His
Little Game of Fan Tan.

The Portuguese possession OF Macao,
one Of the oldest European settlements
in the Orient, would be of little impor-
tance to its rulers Were it not that it is
to the Chinese of the island and some
of the foreigners what Monte Carlo is
to Europeans. 1t is one of the gam
bling places of the world, One company
pays to the Portuguese proprietorS OF
the island Slj0,000 a year for the priyi-
lege of running its several houses. Fan
tan, the gambling game played here,
one of the simplest of games, allowing
neither the excitement nor the possible
large winnings of roulette, is irresisti-
bly fascinating 70 the Chinese. They
throng the fan tan house, crowdinS
around the tables and placing their lit
tie earnings upon a corner of the /, 2.
3 or 1. 1t is not at all uncommon TO
see them, when all their money is lost,
take gold or silver ornaments from
their dress or even parts of the dress
itself and stake them against sums con-
siderably lower than their value. The
game of fan tan is learned at glance.
A Hat piece of lead or other metal about
foot square is placed in the center of
the gambling table. Its sides are num-
bered from to t.
The gambler places his money on ono
side or the corner, betting upon one Of
the numbers or upon a combination OF
numbers. In the former case, should
he be successful. he receives three times
the amount of his stake, less about ten
per cent commission for the bank.
Should either of the numbers on the
corner or combination of which he has
made his wager win he receives his
stake, minus the same commission.
There are no cards or wheel, but pile
of small round coppers having little
square hole in the center of each and
called cash. A handful is taken and
placed in the center of the table under
an inverted bowl. When all bets have
been made the proprietor of the bank
moves the bowl and carefully takes
from the bowl four cash; then foul
| more: then four more, and so on until
| four, three, two or only one is left
which is the winning number. 1t is &
most tedious game, for the central pile
must be so large that the number O
cash which it contains can not possibly
be told, and the process of drawing
them out by fours takes considerable
time. But the poor Chinese who have
| staked their all upon one of the mum
bers hang over the table and watcl
that gradually diminishing pile, in
tcnsely fascinated. Having won, the.

How the British Government Secured q
Hold on the Nile Country.

Hold on the Nile Country.
In 1878 the Khediyc Ismail, by rash
efforts to inaugurate public improve
mcnts and other eXtravagances, had
increased the National debt to $485,-
100000. 1t was not possible to extort
even the interest of this vast debt from
his already impoverished subjects, and
Egyptian credit was so impaired that
additional foreign loans to meet the
annual deficit in the revenues could no
longer be obtained. This large debt
being held mostly in England and
France, Ismail handed over the fnan-
cial administration of his Government
to these two Powers, and they estab-

General were sent by these countries
10 take up their residence in Egypt,
there to superintend the collection and
disbursement of the revenue. The
Khedive was not pleased with their
conduct of affairs, however. and in
April, 1870 he arbitrarily dismissed
them. The European Powers then in
terfered and forced Ismail to abdicate
his throne in favor of his son Mehemet
i Tewlik, and the joint control was re.
stored. 1t was very unpopular with
the people, however, and gave the
most important pretext for the re-
bellion of 1881, headed by Arab
Boy. England and France then sent
a joint fleet to Alexandria to uphold up
the authority of the Khedivc, and to
protect European residents in Egyp-

objects of the popular hatred

attack, and, therefore, on the 1lth Of
June, Alexandria was bombardcd by
order of the English commander. This
attack was followed by the landing of
the British force, which, acting in the
interest of the Khedive, overthrow the
rebellion of Arab. and restored peace
and order. The joint control was now
understood to be abolished, and Eng.

in the fall of 1882 to reorganize the
